Great minds think alike, and it is no wonder that Cox and Kings has attracted key players, who are leaders in their own right. Each of our partners bring to the table a unique travel-related strength, that enriches the holiday experience.

The parts they play differ, but some things remain the same across all our alliance partners, exacting standards and a commitment towards excellence. And it all goes a long way in establishing Cox and Kings as Holiday Makers par excellence.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR COX AND KINGS CUSTOMERS

How to choose your holiday?

Holidays are an opportunity to refresh

ourselves and take a break from our

demanding schedules. Which is why,

they need to be chosen carefully. You

certainly do not want to be disturbed by

problems. Just relax and leave all the

logistics to us. Given below are two broad

classications of any holiday, based on

where, with who and how many people

you wish to holiday. This is applicable to

any holiday you want.

Group Tours (or Package Tours)

These tours have carefully planned

itineraries and have a good balance of

essential sightseeing, activities, coupled

with meals. An experienced tour director

accompanies the group and takes care

of everything, so our guests can have

unlimited fun and return with happy

memories.

Group Tours - Advantages

Great Value for Money holidays, because we buy in bulk and get

discounts from suppliers.

Feel secure and safe in an unknown country, as you travel with a known

name.

Estimate the total cost of the holiday well in advance.

Get to meet different people of varied cultures and interests.

Everything is organized for you. Cover all must-see spots. Your tour manager takes care of everything.

Things to be aware of on a Group

Tour :

A lot of places are covered, so there is less in-depth sightseeing.

You have to rise fairly early most days.

The itinerary is fairly xed and cannot accommodate individuals.

The itinerary covers a wide section of peoples tastes / interests that may

not suit you as an individual.

Since it is a group, you do not get a chance to choose all your

companions.

You cannot tailor-make the itinerary / meals / sightseeing to suit your

tastes.

Individual Tours (or Tailor-made

/ Customised Tours)

These tours are designed to offer you

complete freedom. Everything about

your holiday is as per your needs, tastes

and budget. You can buy a complete

package or just components of different

travel services. Or you can simply

purchase a single travel service.

Individual Tours - Advantages

Total exibility in terms of itinerary, time, cuisine, sightseeing and

accommodation. You follow your own

schedule and time-table.

You can choose your companions. See places and explore them in depth.

You can choose the trip as per your likes, dislikes and interests.

Get creative with your itinerary. Eg, choose a self-drive holiday in Australia

with scuba diving and bungee jumping

added.

Spend a little extra on interesting value adds - hiring a private vehicle

at just a little extra for a day adds

more fun to your holiday.

Things to be aware of on an

Individual Tour :

You will be co-ordinating on your own when you travel without the services

of a Tour Manager. This includes any

re-routing or re-conrmation of

services. Of course you will be given

contact and emergency numbers.

The price will be normally more expensive than a group holiday.

The comfort, security and company of being a part of a large group would

not be available.

In spite of total exibility on the trip, you will have to stick to schedules for

transfers, sightseeing etc.

In case you are pre-booking meals at a restaurant please ensure that to

and fro transfers may or may not be

included.

With this clear understanding about the

types of holiday options, you will be better

equipped to make a choice. A simple grid

presents the different types of holidays

Cox and Kings offers under Group and

Individual Tours. So make your bookings

and start packing. Bon voyage!

BAGGAGE ON COACHPlease note that porterage is not included in

Pearls of WisdomPearls of Wisdom

the tour price. It is often difcult to get porters to assist as hotels may or may not provide this service and it is therefore advisable to use bags with wheels. Coaches have limited space for luggage. For the foregoing reasons, we permit only one suitcase and one handbag per person in the coach. The suitcase should be of a size of 158 cms. (width + length + height).

COACHESSince most of your travel in different tours around the world will be by road, for your comfort we have carefully chosen air-conditioned modern coaches for travel. However the only exception is the UK where air-cooled coaches are used.There are long drives from one city to another and we provide frequent convenience stops to ensure that you have an opportunity to smoke, stretch your legs, or use the rest rooms facilities.In the USA on certain days the journeys are 4 to 5 hours and in Europe, the average traveling time by coach is approximately 8 to 10 hours or more.Some of the motor coaches are equipped with in-built emergency washroom facilities. The word emergency is stressed upon because these facilities are not designed to be used as regular washrooms. Kindly use the convenience stops provided at regular intervals.We regret that in the interest of your fellow passengers, eating, smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages is strictly not permitted on the coach. It is in your interest to keep the coach neat and clean, so that you and your fellow passengers can be comfortable during your holiday.

Some hotels offer safe deposit lockers. We would recommend that you make use of them.Unlike other countries, most hotels across Europe do not have air-conditioners / fans due to climatic conditions.We request you to occupy the designated areas for group dining if any.Please note any damage to your room will be charged to you directly by the hotel.

ROOMS/CABINSWe will try our best to provide you with adjacent / interconnecting rooms/cabins, however there is no guarantee and is subject to availability. Unlike other countries where the rooms are fairly spacious, European hotel rooms are small and can accommodate a maximum of three people. Triple rooms are not much bigger than a twin room, so it is advisable to get a separate bed for an accompanying minor. In some destinations, a triple room consists of one queen size double bed and one single bed. Certain hotels for example in Genting do not offer triple rooms. Likewise the sleeper trains from Cairo to Aswan/Luxor and vice-versa do not offer triple accommodation. In case of requests for triple sharing, an extra room will be provided for the third person at an extra cost, unless specied otherwise.

In our 250 years of experience in the service of discerning customers like you, we at Cox and Kings rmly believe that every tour package we offer is always the best value in the market and that you the customer, should be able to Make A Choice rather than Accept Unconditionally.As a result, we have this unique system where we enable you to build your itinerary according to your needs. This allows you to add an exciting and sometimes exclusive optional to your tour and skip the other optionals. The advantage is that you can choose an optional that best suits your inclination and budget.In tours which have an all-inclusive tag, customers are compelled to participate in all the sightseeing. However at Cox and Kings we let you decide. For example, if in an itinerary there are ve mountains that you can visit, you could take as many as ve mountains or none at all. A family of four would have to pay almost Euros 2000 for ve mountains.It is important that you feel empowered to pick and choose your optional rather than be forced to pay a huge all-inclusive price.With our policy of transparency you can decide how you would want your time and money to be spent. Thats Honest Prices from Cox and Kings at work for you.
